While numerous surveys highlighted the natural co-occurrence of mycotoxins in food, data about their toxicological combined effects is still limited. This is especially the case for chronic exposure conditions, although the latter are more representative of the mycotoxin risk associated with food consumption than acute exposure. In the present study, cell viability and gene expression levels of relevant hepatocyte-specific functions were evaluated for the HepaRG human liver cell line exposed to deoxynivalenol (DON) and/or zearalenone (ZEA) during 14, 28 and 42days at three subtoxic concentrations corresponding to i) the determined average exposure dose of French adult population, ii) the tolerable daily intake established by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee and iii) the maximum level permitted by the European regulation in cereals intended for direct human consumption. For the latter, DON and DON+ZEA induced 90% cell mortality after 14days. In addition, depending on the considered toxin or mixture, doses and exposure periods, important variations of gene expression levels were observed. Despite the fact that in vitro conditions differ from the in vivo situation, the obtained results clearly highlighted that long-term toxicological effects of chronic exposure to mycotoxin combinations should be further investigated and, if necessary, taken into consideration at the regulatory level.

D014255 Trichothecenes Usually 12,13-epoxytrichothecenes, produced by Fusaria, Stachybotrys, Trichoderma and other fungi, and some higher plants. They may contaminate food or feed grains, induce emesis and hemorrhage in lungs and brain, and damage bone marrow due to protein and DNA synthesis inhibition.

D015025 Zearalenone (S-(E))-3,4,5,6,8,10-Hexahydro-14,16-dihydroxy-3-methyl-1H-2-benzoxacyclotetradecin-1,7(8H)-dione. One of a group of compounds known under the general designation of resorcylic acid lactones. Cis, trans, dextro and levo forms have been isolated from the fungus Gibberella zeae (formerly Fusarium graminearum). They have estrogenic activity, cause toxicity in livestock as feed contaminant, and have been used as anabolic or estrogen substitutes. F-2 Toxin,F2 Toxin,F 2 Toxin,Toxin, F-2,Toxin, F2
